He loved Hogg ; he was ashamed, he wrote, to tell him how much he loved him ; he was grateful to him for having stood by him and shared his expulsion from the college ; and he placed the most extravagant estimate upon his abilities. What followed upon the disclosure Shelley himself tells in a letter written at the time : — " We walked to the fields beyond York.
I desired to know fully the account of this affair. I heard it from him^ and I believe he was sincere. All I can recollect of that ter-... REMARKS ON SHELLEY. 187 rible day was that I pardoned him, — folly, freely pardoned him ; that I would still be a friend to him, and hoped soon to convince him how lovely virtue was ; that his crime, not himself, was the object of my detesta- tion ; that I value a human being not for what it has been, but for what it is ; that I hoped the time would come when he would i-egard his horrible error with as much dis- gust as I did. He said little ; he was pale, terror-struck, remorsefuL" One may smile at this episode, if he be cynical, and has left youth far enough be- hind; but for all that, there is something pathetic in these sentences of boyish good- ness, this simple belief in the moral princi- ples which Shelley had found in his first search, and to which he had given the alle- giance of his unworn heart; and in this scene of forgiveness, still confused with the emotions of first friendship betrayed, one perceives the Shelley we know, though he was not yet out of his teens.
